Dill Identification

Does anyone know if this is Dill? Thanks

Whats it taste like? 


My first thought seeing it was fennel but looking at dill, surprisingly similar? If you dig down is there a bulb or just the plant stocks growing out of the ground?  https://fruitguys.com/2010/12/dill-vs-fennel/

Wild fennel doesn't have the bulbs (and the bulbs actually grow above the ground btw).

Crush up some leaves, it should smell like black licorice.

Looks like dill to me.  It grows wild in abundance around here - but might not be the most useful variety. There are a few different types, as I understand.

Good luck!

Dogfennel?

My plant id app says sweet fennel.  Could be dog fennel.  I don’t think it’s dill.

Crush it and smell it.

This is Dill
We plant it between the pickling cucumbers so they can become acquainted early
Juvenile dill looks a lot like young California Poppy or carrot tops
We harvest the tops when they flower along with the spindly leaves
They’re a delicious snack in the garden, in pickles obviously, and in a vinaigrette salad dressing
Below are past pictures from the garden
Enjoy

Thanks for the help everyone I added some more photographs to original post to help identify.

We ended up having some store bought Dill which I compared with. The crushed up dill in question didn't smell bad at all. Smells a bit more of a mild version of the store bought dill, but then again my smell is all over the place.

From what I can gather all dill/fennel is edible so I might just give this a try. I just need to be on the look out for Poison Hemlock (reddish/purplish stem base and white flowers) and stay clear.

Dog Fennel tho.  Contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids, can cause acute and chronic liver damage and can kill you if eaten in sufficient quantity over a sufficient period of time.  Also bioaccumulates.

So no.  Don't eat that without a positive ID.

Thanks for that I will not eat without positive ID for sure. The stems don't have the Fuzz/Hair that I'm seeing with Dog Fennel
